SURELOCK SEAL PROCESS

We give you peace of mind by letting you know BEFORE you unload if the cargo was adulterated during transit. We help you minimize the risk of plant shutdown due to a recall from a contaminated product.

SEAL INSTALLATION

Any Surelock Seals system can be customized to your unique company needs. Our seals fit most food transport and cargo trailers on the market today.

RFID READERS

The overhead or handheld system will automatically read each seal, and the data is compared with the data sent from the supplier. This traceability of electronic records help you comply with the FDA FSMA regulations for food defense.

CCTV

Closed Circuit TV can be included with your customized system for real-time visual monitoring. The video is stored along with the seal verification logs on your system.

SOFTWARE

TAMPER RESISTANT

Our system is built around our patented and unique double-locking, automated, tamper-evident RFID seal.

NO WORKER INSPECTION

Removing the need for employees to climb on top of trailers or over platforms increases plant safety, adds to efficiency and lowers operating costs while eliminating operator error.

The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) involves people at all segments of the food supply chain, from farm to table and is in transition from law to total implementation.

"Keeping food safe, from farm to table, is at the core of our mission as an agency and at the heart of the preventive, risk-focused food safety system envisioned by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)."

Under FSMA, our approach to food safety inspections and compliance will be fundamentally different. FDA will deploy inspectors who are specialized in specific food commodities, rather than covering a broad range of FDA-regulated products. Backed by technical experts, they will assess the soundness and performance of a facility’s overall food safety system. Achieving this will require a major reorientation and retraining of more than 2,000 FDA inspectors, compliance officers and other staff involved in food safety activities.

OUR MISSION

At Surelock Seals, our mission is to be an integral part of our nation’s safety by providing verifiable food defense services.

Through serving ingredient manufacturers, the trucking industry, and manufacturing plants we know that our final customer is the consumer. Ensuring public safety is on everyone’s mind. With newly passed legislation, the FDA is quickly working to provide more oversight and verification of cargo traceability and food defense programs. We understand that safety and efficiency is imperative at every manufacturing plant. We know that no one benefits when a factory is shut down indefinitely or razed due to contamination.

Let’s partner for the sake of our food safety and healthy economy. We will always do our part to keep America running strong.

POPULAR QUESTIONS

How does the seal work?

Our patented, double-locking seal uses RFID technology in a unique way for food defense, helping you comply with FDA FSMA regulations. Normally, users want RFID tags to constantly read. Our seals mechanically destroy the RFID tag if anyone removes it to open the container to which the seal is attached. Even if the seal is re-attached, the RFID tag is permanently destroyed and will alert you that there has been a breach. You cannot circumvent our seal.

How would it benefit my company?

Surelock Seals give you peace of mind because you know BEFORE you unload whether the cargo was adulterated. No plant shutdown for de-contamination, no expensive recall, no media frenzy because you received a shipment of contaminated product. Your cost savings also include fewer Worker’s Compensation claims, reduced labor hours in receiving and tracking the cargo trailers, and elimination of human error in attempting to view the seal numbers. Your employees no longer have to climb up on trucks or rail cars to verify the numbers on the seal, eliminating the chance of accidental fall (especially during inclement weather).

Is it expensive?

No! The cost of our mobile application and overhead RFID reader systems are a fraction of the cost of the inspection ramps required for human-contact visual inspection of seals.

How do I install the RFID overhead system?

The overhead system installation differs from one company to another; you can customize your system to fit your physical layout and plant landscape requirements. Our team will do the install, but there are some tasks that you can perform if you wish: installation of the mounting arm, running the network cable, etc. However, it will be necesarry for our representatives to install and test the equipment through the final stages. The entire installation process is discussed prior to purchase so you know exactly what it entails and costs. We always strive to keep your cost as low as possible.

How long does it take to install the RFID overhead system?

Each situation is unique, but a normal installation can usually be done in two to five days.

What warranty do you offer?

The overhead reader, camera and hand-held are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

What are my options for RFID readers?
